What is sugar withdrawal like?
Many people report headaches, irritability, and strong cravings in the first 7 to 14 days after cutting added sugar. Symptoms usually ease as blood sugar stabilizes and sleep improves.
What is the difference between binge eating and emotional eating?
Binge eating involves larger amounts with loss of control and distress. Emotional eating uses food to manage feelings but may not meet full binge-eating disorder criteria. Both deserve compassion and support.
